Between 1909 and 1913, Claude Debussy (1862\u20131918) wrote two books of solo piano preludes, 24 total.

Debussy’s marking for the piece is “calme<\/em>,” and it is that\u2014serene and incredibly beautiful! (Sad to say, the Vosges was the scene of horrific warfare during World War I, just a few years after Debussy wrote this piece.<\/p>\n

The video was made by Drew Henderson (who is a fine guitarist himself).<\/p>\n

In the past, we’ve featured individual videos by each of the guitarists, including Cowan playing Claude Vivier’s Piece pour guitare<\/em><\/a>, and Cicchillitti performing his own Europa<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
